The iconic Louis Vuitton brand was founded in 1854 as a luxury luggage company. Over 150 years later, LV bags, fine jewelry, and designer shoes still carry a timeless allure.

While designer handbags are quite an investment, they’re worth the price tag—high-quality accessories minimize the need for replacements, encouraging sustainability and reducing fashion waste. They’re versatile statement pieces that elevate any look in your closet, so you can use them daily.

In this guide, explore the best LV handbags to find something that vibes with your taste.

The 8 most popular Louis Vuitton bags

There are dozens of beautiful, unique Louis Vuitton bags, so it’s no wonder they’re among the most popular purse brands. To make shopping for yours easier, we’ve curated a selection of the top eight bags, each with its own aesthetic appeal and practical use.

1. Speedy

A Louis Vuitton Speedy bag.

$1319.99

The Speedy, introduced in 1930, is one of the oldest and famous LV bags. It was built to align with modern travel and fast-paced lifestyles, so while it fits numerous items, it’s also conveniently compact.

This bag comes in various sizes, from the Mini HL, which holds about a cardholder and lipstick, to the Speedy 40, large enough to carry daily essentials, plus a tablet, makeup case, and phone charger. Most models work as either crossbody or shoulder bags.

While the Speedy comes in classic canvas patterns, we particularly love the leather in black, white, and cream.

Add this classic piece to your collection—affordably and sustainably—by thrifting on ThredUp, starting at $644.99.

2. Keepall

A black Louis Vuitton Keepall bag.

$2399.99

The Keepall also debuted in 1930 and is still an iconic representative of the LV brand. It was designed as a lightweight alternative to heavy, hard-sided luggage, providing ample space while maintaining flexibility.

This luxury duffle bag is an excellent weekend or light travel option. It has enough space to pack for a five-day trip, including clothing, accessories, and small souvenirs. Many Keepall variations fit as carry-ons with most airlines, but if you buy the largest size, you’ll have to check it. 

The Keepall is available in classic colors and patterns. If you love loud, vibrant styles, keep an eye out for seasonal special edition looks and celebrity collabs.

Can’t stop thinking about a limited edition pattern that passed you by? Browse Keepall bags on ThredUp, where you can find discontinued and vintage models starting at $572.99.

3. Neverfull

A Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag.

$1454.99

The Neverfull came out in 2007, so although much newer, it’s already one of the most popular Louis Vuitton bags—and one of our top picks for the best designer bag overall.

As the name implies, the Neverfull is a tote spacious enough to fit all your daily essentials, including larger items like laptops, makeup bags, and sunglasses cases. This makes it the best LV bag for everyday use like going to the office or gym.

While it comes in dozens of bold colors, the Damier Ebene checkerboard and the LV monogram are the most popular and recognizable styles.

If you want the Louis Vuitton Neverfull for yourself, find it on ThredUp, starting at $994.99.

4. Noé

A Louis Vuitton Noé bag.

$1979.99

Another vintage piece, the Noé debuted in 1932 and was intended to carry champagne bottles (hence the cute, round shape). Bucket bags are now popular purses, but Noé was one of the first with this cinch design.

These bags come in a wide range of sizes. The tiny Noé Purse is a convenient crossbody bag that can carry a few essentials, including a phone, wallet, and keys. The biggest size, the Noé Large, is similar to the original design and can carry a few bottles of champagne—or a laptop and a cosmetic bag.

This purse comes in bright and neutral colors, but our favorites are the super unique styles, like black multicolor monogram and cozy shearling.

Find out-there looks and classic vibes on ThredUp, where Noé bags start at just $504.99.

5. Alma

A Louis Vuitton Alma bag.

$719.99

The Louis Vuitton Alma launched in 1934 and was the second handbag LV designed after the Speedy. It’s built to be sturdy, offering structured sides that protect your cargo.

The Alma is available in many sizes, from tiny purses to larger bags that can accommodate daily necessities, plus a tablet, makeup bag, and journal. Most Alma bags can be worn crossbody, but many fans don’t recommend it—the structured design makes it stick out from your body instead of contouring, so it works better as a handbag.

While it comes in dozens of styles, we’d opt for the classic monogram canvas—unless you can get your hands on glossy Vernis leather.

Browse hundreds of stunning Louis Vuitton Alma bags on ThredUp, starting at $534.99.

6. Cannes

A Louis Vuitton Cannes bag.

$1994.99

The Louis Vuitton Cannes launched in 1994 as the Cannes Beauty Case but has since evolved into a handbag that resembles the original shape. This unique, cylindrical bucket bag is structured, compact, and holds more than you’d think.

While it’s small, this purse still carries a phone, cardholder, keys, and a thin makeup bag. As a bonus, the structured design ensures everything inside is safe, so you don’t have to worry about your sunglasses or protein bar getting crushed.

Most Cannes bags are available in shades of brown monogram, but if you’re dedicated to the treasure hunt, you can seek out rarer colors like blue, red, and yellow.

Thrift this gorgeous, boxy handbag on ThredUp, starting at $1,779.99.

7. Pochette Accessoires

A Louis Vuitton Pochette Accessoires mini bag.

$1399.99

The Pochette Accessoires, introduced in 2019, is a newer addition to the LV lineup, and we’re already in love. This gorgeous mini bag is an excellent alternative to the Chanel Classic Flap, which is often too pricey for many budgets.

This purse contains three small pouches. The main pouch easily carries a wallet, makeup, and lip balm, and the second pouch is a great place to stash your phone. While the coin purse won’t see many coins in this era, you can get creative and carry your keys or earbuds in it.

The Pochette is most popular in the iconic monogram design, but it’s available in multicolor patterns and the striking Damier Ebene checkerboard.

Find this stylish little treasure on ThredUp, starting at $331.99.

8. Capucines

A red Louis Vuitton Capucines bag.

$2799.99

The Capucines launched in 2013 and quickly became one of the most in-demand Louis Vuitton bags. This all-leather piece is rigid and structured—much like the Louis Vuitton Alma—so it won’t bend with your body, but it will keep your sunglasses from cracking in a crowded subway.

This sleek piece is available in four sizes—mini, BB, PM, and MM—ranging from a modest purse that holds your phone, cardholder, and keys to a medium handbag to carry the basics, plus a tablet and makeup. Most Capucines are best as shoulder and handbags, but some models come with a strap so you can wear them crossbody.

The Capucines is all-leather and rarely available in patterns, so you won’t find it in the classic Damier Ebene. It’s primarily in bright, solid colors like gold, mint, and rose.

While the Capucines is often unavailable at most Louis Vuitton retailers, you can skip the waiting list and thrift it on ThredUp, starting at $1,819.99.
